Jeff Bezos said he was ‘optimistic’ about President-elect Donald Trump’s second term on Wednesday and even plans to ‘help him’ achieve their shared goals.
The Amazon founder was often seen as antagonistic toward Trump during his first go around in the White House.
However, Bezos expressed some excitement about potential regulatory cutbacks in the coming years.
‘I’m actually very optimistic this time around,’ Bezos said on stage during a wide-ranging interview at a conference in New York.
‘He seems to have a lot of energy around reducing regulation. If I can help do that, I´m going to help him.’
‘We do have too many regulations in this country,’ Bezos added.
Bezos also promised to ‘save’ The Washington Post, which he owns, following fierce backlash and a precipitous drop in readership after his bombshell October decision to prohibit the paper from endorsing a presidential candidate.
